I've bought B&Q feathered fencing to make some repairs to an existing fence.
I read somewhere that pressure treated wood shouldn't be stained or painted for several months so that the treatment has time to dry out totally.
Is that correct? Would the wood you buy in B&Q normally be ready to paint or stain straight away or should i wait? It doesn't appear to be damp but I don't really know. I'd like to stain it to match the rest of the fence.
